Hi all, I have a project that I want to add a measure of silence in the middle. When I select all tracks>split>then drag them over one measure, the melody track with lyrics gets all jumbled up. Words are added and duplicated even before the split. A few years ago I figured out how to prevent this but I can't remember how I did it. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
thanks

You don't say which program you're using, but if you go to Insert>Time/Measures in older programs or Project>Insert Time/Measures in newer programs you should be able to move everything the required amount.

sorry, sonar platinum, all up to date
thanks, i'll give it a try

Nope, it's still doing it. Duplicates some lyrics from the beginning then jumbles others. All MIDI, no Audio. Man, this is frustrating because I figured this out 3 or 4 years ago but this old brain of mine won't co-operate!
 

If you are actually using the Lyric track feature, then you are already way beyond my abilities with that feature.  I tried using it once, and had lyrics flying all over the place, words scrambling, all kind of madness.  Not sure how such a simple concept became such a fustercluck in Sonar.  Maybe I will revisit that feature one day.  I write a lot of lyrics, and would love to have them inside each project.  

Ya Dave, I use it a lot and, for the most part, it works well. Just this one nagging issue but as I said, there is a simple solution. I know it's simple because I'm not that smart! lol

Yeah, it was simple for me as well.  I pasted in my lyrics from a text file.  Created a midi guide track, and the lyrics went a flyin.............
